A mob on Saturday killed a member of a vigilance group for reportedly making a blasphemous statement.

It was gathered that members of the vigilance group guarding the Timber shed market at the Federal Housing Estate in Abuja had wanted to arrest some residents wandering around the market in the early hours of Saturday, PUNCH reports.
